Make a conversation about year-end festival (at school)
write a passage.Talk about your feeling at the end of your school year
it is the end of school for us — April and May are nuts. These are days apt to be described by the first paragraph of “A Tale of Two Cities.” Right now I have 3 planning periods a week. (Not kidding.) Plus Special Olympics Bocce Ball. PLUS NHS Blood Drive. PLUS Senior Slide show. PLUS Graduation movie. PLUS Bidding out pulling cable for the new building. PLUS the Technology plan and budget for next year. PLUS tech support. PLUS my book launch for Reinventing Writing to coordinate. PLUS graduating my second child and getting her off to college.
MINUS sanity.
I say this because tens of thousands of you live this every day. This is your life. You totally get this.
To bad no one else does. Don’t expect them to either.
People are going to start casually saying
The School Year Doesn’t “Wind Down”!
And you know they are among the clueless. There is nothing “winding down” about the end of the school year. It is more a complete and total crash. You accelerate until you run into a brick wall and you hope your seatbelt lets you get out of the thing intact so you can limp off to your summer. The first week or so of my summer is spent sipping coffee – staring into space and reading books where stuff gets blown up. I’m worthless because I’m spent. Every shred of everything I had to give is given.
Make new dia talk about preparations for a school festival/ flower festival/ Tet festival
Since Tet - Vietnamese Lunar New Year - has been, for longer than anyone could remember, among the most important traditional festivals of our country, it's celebration tends to be relatively well-prepared and divers in families. I myself, more than reasonably, has a lot to do too with this day knocking on my very door. The first thing we do as the end of year is approaching, is to finish all our current works in the passing year, cause it gives us a feeling of completion, and that we're off to a fresh start the moment our New Year comes. For instant, I would clean up my room (which I rarely do) and finish all my school works (which I also rarely do). Besides that, a lot like in Western countries, where you ornament your home while longing for important days such as Noel or New Years Eve, Vietnamese people decorates ours. Normally I would help out by going to the Tet market - as you can guess, that market is only open at Tet, which is a silly thing in my opinion - and buy all the best decorations i can find. I'd also buy a lot of candies, cookies and jellies to eat during the festival and to give away, like when people buy Turkey for Thanksgiving. Additionally, some traditional families can make Banh Chung (sticky rice cake) together at home and enjoy themselves while the cake is being cooked. Mine, well, however, of course, doesn't. I have to say, these preparations, along side with many many others, are those that has made Tet one of the most beautiful and enjoyable festival we have annually.

Las Fallas Festival in Valencia, Spain is a week-long festival with music, and a lot of fireworks. Fallas are big sculptures made of wood and paper. People burn them at the end of the festival. The festival takes place on 15 - 19 March every year. David and marta, two teenagers from Valancia, are talking about the preparations for the festival of Las Fallas. David: The tradition of Las Fallas started when carpenters burned their old wood at the end of winter to celebrate spring. Now, big groups of neighbours usually make a falla together. They can take about a year to make! My brother is an artist and he designed our falla. He's worried because he hasn't finished and it has to be ready next week! Marta: I live in a village near Valencia but I come and stay with my grandmother for Las Fallas. There's music, dancing and lines of people walking in the streets. It's a very noisy festival and it goes on all day and all night for a week. A lot of people wear beautiful, tradition costumes and they make foods in the streets. It's always great fun. This year is going to be the best. I'm really excited!
